What does it mean to get rich in ancient times?

In ancient times, it was said that children born in marriage could change a family's wealth. In ancient times, it was believed that family prosperity required sons to carry on the family line, and the profits of family development were concentrated on the reproduction of future generations. Therefore, having a son means that the family has an heir, the chances of future generations' prosperity increase and the family's future is better.

In ancient times, people often preferred boys to girls, thinking that boys could carry on the family line better than girls, so sons born in marriage were sometimes especially cherished. If a family has more than one son, then more than one person can inherit the family's industry and ensure the prosperity of the family. Under such a concept, "adding more people to make more money" has become the belief of many people to pursue their children and grandchildren.

Nowadays, although the values of society have changed, the belief of "increasing wealth" is still circulating. Many young people still hope to have a child as soon as possible after marriage, because the birth of a child carries the hope of the family's future. At any time, it is people's eternal desire to pursue family prosperity, so the belief of "adding more money" is still deeply rooted in people's hearts.
